In recent daily builds there is a "Color Key" tool (in Utilities) that lets you draw a single rectangular region of several colors and associated labels. You could use it to draw a rectangle with no labels and with the color set to the background color to achieve the same effect as cropping without the image ending prematurely.<div><br></div><div>--Eric</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Eric Pettersen</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>UCSF Computer Graphics Lab</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu</a></font></p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span> </div><br><div><div>On Aug 20, 2008, at 12:12 PM, William Jeffrey Triffo wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I know of the hinder and yon clipping planes,<br><br>and also the per-model clipping plane that allows individual model <br>clipping.<br><br>I have a current imaging session where I have already used per-model <br>clipping on several models, but would like to trim off some material <br>from the side of the entire combined model - I don't suppose there is an <br>arbitrary clipping plane that applies to the whole scene, like <br>hinder-yon but from any user-defined direction?<br><br>For now, I was just going to crop the resulting image.
